TLDR
The presence of STING was critical for sustained control of HSV-1 replication in the corneal epithelium and resistance to viral neuroinvasion, but loss of STing had a negligible impact with respect to gross tissue pathology.

Neuro-Immune Interactions at Barrier Surfaces

TL;DR: This Review focuses on neuro-immune interactions at barrier surfaces-mostly the gut, but also including the skin and the airways, areas densely populated by neurons and immune cells that constantly sense and adapt to tissue-specific environmental challenges.

TMEM173 variants and potential importance to human biology and disease

TL;DR: The human TMEM173 gene encodes the protein STING, a key player in host defense against pathogens, a promising therapeutic target for cancers and infectious diseases and their potential impact on human health and medicine is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accumulation of Cytoplasmic DNA Due to ATM Deficiency Activates the Microglial Viral Response System with Neurotoxic Consequences.

TL;DR: It is shown here that the innateimmune system is not spared in A-T and the microglia of the innate immune system are also affected and the mechanism by which this occurs is uncovered.

Herpes Simplex Virus 1 γ 1 34.5 Protein Inhibits STING Activation That Restricts Viral Replication

TL;DR: HSV-1 γ134.5 targets stimulator of interferon genes (STING) in the intracellular DNA recognition pathway that regulates TBK1 activation and disrupts translocation of STING, a process necessary to prime cellular immunity.
Book ChapterDOI

Innate Immune Mechanisms and Herpes Simplex Virus Infection and Disease.

TL;DR: The major host innate immune mechanisms and the HSV evasion mechanisms that have evolved are summarized and how disease can result if this equilibrium between virus and host response is disrupted is discussed.

Monocyte and macrophage heterogeneity

TL;DR: Recent studies have shown that monocyte heterogeneity is conserved in humans and mice, allowing dissection of its functional relevance: the different monocyte subsets seem to reflect developmental stages with distinct physiological roles, such as recruitment to inflammatory lesions or entry to normal tissues.

Monocyte recruitment during infection and inflammation

TL;DR: The mechanisms that control monocyte trafficking under homeostatic, infectious and inflammatory conditions are being unravelled and are the focus of this Review.

Regulation of type I interferon responses

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the signalling and epigenetic mechanisms that regulate type I IFN-induced STAT activation and ISG transcription and translation and conclude that these regulatory mechanisms determine the biological outcomes of type I ILN responses and whether pathogens are cleared effectively or chronic infection or autoimmune disease ensues.

STING regulates intracellular DNA-mediated, type I interferon-dependent innate immunity

TL;DR: It is shown that STING (stimulator of interferon genes) is critical for the induction of IFN by non-CpG intracellular DNA species produced by various DNA pathogens after infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interferons and viruses: an interplay between induction, signalling, antiviral responses and virus countermeasures.

TL;DR: Applied aspects that arise from an increase in knowledge in this area are described, including vaccine design and manufacture, the development of novel antiviral drugs and the use of IFN-sensitive oncolytic viruses in the treatment of cancer.
